This is my mom. I chose her because she is one of the best people in my life. She is hardworking, smart, kind and loving. She had me young at 17 and had to work very hard being a single mom. She had to work for everything she has in her life. I look up to her because she worked hard to become who she is and makes me want to be everything I want in life plus more.She is everything I want to be. She is supportive and wants me to work hard to get what I need in life. She is loving and cares for me and my siblings. Simply I love her more than words can describe.
